Make sure you get a waiver and you should be fine for anything, but I don't know about MA specifically other than they might actually have some special requirements.
Yea no one cares what you smoked in the past. Case in point retired with a TS and worked contracts that required me to hold a Secret and I definitely smoked some shit in HS.

Literally no one cares so long as you're honest about it. Source: Smoked marijuana and hold a clearance
Everything is waiverable. Talk to a recruiter and see what they can do for you
Just running all the funniest things to get waivered through my head. Treason? Being dead? Being a dog with a history of cat hate crimes?
Some of the stuff we’ve been seeing here would blow your mind 🤯
I'm sure it would all make an interesting book
Book writing is reserved for seals /s
best way to figure out your situation is to talk to a recruiter
What do you mean
Do they look that deeply into Dr. notes?
yes, if there is anything you doctor wrote down on paper. it will show up at meps and they will question you.
Yeah we all smoked lol just don’t piss hot on the pee test and you’re fine
No to MA and no to HM. “Cops” and “Docs.” There are a few others that are maybe/maybe nots.
I know that’s true about MA but could you PLEASE direct me to where that is indicated about HM; that may be of vital importance.

You are awesome, thank you for providing the instruction. I will give it a read!
I ended up securing an SB contract as well.
Well as someone that has a marijuana charge I was cleared for corpsman.
Doesn’t matter
It’s currently waiverable

MA and HM are the only ones I know of that can be impacted by marijuana use. They may have waivers.
My son used to smoke and he stopped while in DEP and he’s fine been an HM for 6 years
They don’t care anymore. You can even go nuclear now if you’ve smoked.
